Useing XP, want to write a batch that will change the admin password on a group of XP stations, by inputing the info automatically, using NET USER, like so:

net user administrator *

It prompts the user to enter the new password. Then it asks a second time for confirmation. If the new password is Happydays, how can I make it automatically do this? Also, would this work for any batch that required user input? Thanks.

This would be a major security risk for Windows XP, so Microsoft decided to block attempts to batch-change Administrator passwords. Sorry.
